Annotation of standard text ASTM C776-17(2022) :

This specification covers sintered uranium dioxide pellets containing 235U for use in nuclear reactors. Chemical requirements include uranium content, impurity content, stoichiometry, and moisture content. Maximum concentration limits are specified for impurity elements such as: aluminum, carbon, calcium+magnesium, chlorine, chromium, cobalt, fluorine, hydrogen, iron, nickel, nitrogen, silicon, and thorium. Chemical analyses shall be performed. Nuclear requirements include isotopic content and equivalent boron content. The following are physical characteristics of the material: dimensions, pellet density, grain size and pore morphology, pellet integrity –

Additional information

1. Scope

1.1?This specification is for finished sintered UO₂ pellets. It applies to UO_{1.2?This
specification recognizes the presence of reprocessed U in the fuel
cycle and consequently defines isotopic limits for
UO_{1.3?This
specification does not include (a) provisions for preventing criticality
accidents, (1.4?The
values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other
units of measurement are included in this standard.}}

1.5?The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the technical requirements portion, Section 4, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability or regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
